I read this fine book a number of years ago, and it
still sits on my bookshelf—being one of the best
accounts of the period of American history that
dealt with the
frontier expansion
and the exploration and settlement of the Southwest and
other areas of the frontier.

In essence, Upstate
New York Reader
is exactly correct. The territories of the great
Southwest might have been
"claimed" by
Mexico
or
by
Spain
at one point—but, due to the ferocity of the
Indian tribes
who inhabited those areas and the rampant cowardice and
weak-kneed incompetence
on the battlefield of
Mexicans
against this Indian threat—those lands remained
unpopulated and unsettled by any appreciable number of
Mexicans.

It
wasn`t until the white man—who in those days, at least,
was a breed of determined and courageous fighters—began
to move into the Southwest
that the Indian threats were eventually resolved and the
territories made safe for further settlement and
expansion.

Once the white man had removed
the threat of constant Indian attacks, then the Mexican
government suddenly decides that they want their land
back? Ha. Who made it safe to
live in? Not Mexicans, that`s for sure.

So, might I ask a
glaringly obvious question? Why are
white men
and
women
today apologizing for our ancestors`
victories? And, what is the real motivation that drives
the Cultural Marxist indoctrinated Left to attempt to
make whites feel
"guilty" for defeating the
Indians and claiming this land for our people?
